Beware, o youthful one. (poeTry)

by amica paige


Beware, o youthful mind.
Appease the test of time.
Gather a thought, a feather,
a page in an open book
a leaf, a stone
a twig, crossbones
a swig of might
a dose of delight
a pen, a cup
an overflow
a weathered friend
the light at the end
a spider's web
a strong desire
for the breadth of life,
through ice
and fire,
in ocean's depth
afloat on earth.
On earth.

Beware, o youthful one.
Withstand the test of time.
Gather a thought, a feather,
and ride the book of life.
